TOOK ON THE CHALLENGE OF PAINTING 30 CATS IN 30 DAY. MOM SENT HH HER FAVORITE PICTURE OF ME FOR HH TO PAINT. AFTER IT WAS PAINTED, WE HAD FIRST DIBS ON BUYING IT. MOM WHIPPED OUT THE PLASTIC SO FAST IT MADE MY HEAD SPIN.

HERE I AM MEETING

CANVASS MADI FOR THE FIRST TIME.

Bugsy and Knuckles left me some very interesting smell mail

you will never believe the next picture....

Mom held the picture up to get a better look and lo and behold

I jumped up to give it another sniff.

Mom had no idea she had snapped a picture of this until she

downloaded the pictures.

She thought this was a very unique picture.

HH we absolutely love it. Mom has it on the

mantel over our fireplace right where everyone can see it

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

HUGS MADI AND MOM*********************REMINDERTODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO SUBMITPICTURES FOR

Thursday, January 31, 2013

the linens and it is my job to inspect the bed. Sometimes I help from start to finish and sometimes I arrive just as she is finishing.

Mom left the pillows all messy on the bed. I cannot

nap under these circumstances.

Looks like it is up to me to get things in order

I'll make a few biscuits on this pillow on the way to my

special SPOT

WHOA WHAT THE HECK IS UP MY CLEAN

TOWEL IS NOT IN MY SPECIAL SPOT

DEMERITS ARE IN ORDER.

MAYBE SHE LEFT IT BEHIND THIS PILLOW

NOPE

MOOOOOOOOOOOOM IT IS NAP TIME

I WANT MY TOWEL IN MY SPOT PRONTO

OK THIS IS MORE LIKE IT...YOU KNOW MY MAYORAL

TUSH CANNOT NAP WITHOUT THE PROPER AMOUNT OF

SOFTNESS THE TOWEL MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE.

Note from Mom: This is the exact sequence of pictures

taken last Saturday. Madi was on her way to nap only to

find her towel missing. She went back to the bedside table

let out a big MEOW.

As soon as I put the towel down, she settled down for a long winter's nap.

Madi is all about the destination not the journey.*******UPDATE ON G-PAThe swelling in his nose has gone down considerably.thus far he just has one black eye.The swelling in his had is some better but at least it doesn't hurtThe cast is bothersome when he sleeps but hopefully he will adjust.thanks for all your kind words after his accident.*******REMINDER

BREAKING NEWS (literally)We had about 1/2 " ice Friday night, pictured above.Saturday morning at 9:30 my 83 year old Grandpa decided it was a good idea to got outto get his paper down his steep drive way.We don't know why he thought this was a good idea.BECAUSE it was not!!He fell and slid down the drive way.He had lots of scratches on his legs, shin and chin.He also hit is nose and caught himself on is hand.Yesterday he found out his right hand and nose are broken.He is very lucky it was no worse than it is.....My grandpeeps have a home health aide 24/7 but there are some things she cannot like bills, groceries etc so Mom will be in and out. Mom has several post pre set for posting but ourcommenting and visiting will be scattered about. We will keep you updated.

LADIES MOM AND I THANK YOU FOR THE EXCELLENT, WELL THOUGHT OUT ANSWERS

1. Please introduce yourselves, tell us your age and a very special trait.

My name is Daisy, I'll be 10 in March. I'm the top dog in our house. Next we have Bella who will be 4 this year, and last is Roxy who will be 2. I, Daisy, am the peace keeper in the family and keep the others in line. Bella and I are both typical scotties. We are aloof with people and will only have a cuddle on our terms. Roxy, on the other hand is anyones. She loves everybody and thinks they want to be kissed and cuddled. Bella and I are dignified--Roxy is....well....Roxy.2. If you had an alter ego who would you be?

We like being who we are and don't really have alter egos. 3. What do you like best/least about where you live and why.We live in a city of 40,000 in New South Wales. It is mostly a farming area, and our city provides the services needed by the outlying towns and villages. There are loads of places to walk in our area...we rarely do the same walk every day. And our favourite places are anywhere near the river. We love getting wet, the sand and mud. Also, there are lots of birds to chase. If we could change one thing though, it would be the bindiis (burrs). They get tangled in our furs, stuck in our paws and are a pain--literally. We'd love for them to disappear!

4. Who are some of the peeps/furiends you'd like to meet and whyYou ask who we'd like to meet. There are so many. Basically, we'd love to meet any of the Blogville residents!

5. If you could give one piece of random advice what would it be?The piece of advice we try to live by is that quote from 'Auntie Mame'...."Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death" As Mame says, 'Live, live, live'. Enjoy the day-to-day stuff because the big things you wait for, may not happen.6. What do you do for fun?

For fun, we just run, chase birds, investigate, keep track of what's happening in the 'hood, play bitey face and snooze. We're always up for treats. (Bella watches television and Roxy plays with squeaky toys.)7. What is the first thing you do each morning?

First thing very morning, we race outside to see if our borders have been breached during the night and then go sit in front of the cabinet to get our breakfast bones. Then we wait for HER to take us for our early morning walk.8. What is the first thing you notice about new furiends?

The first thing we notice about new friends is their smell. Friendly animals give off a friendly scent.9. Tell us how you came to live in your family and how you got your name.

I, Daisy, was a meant-to-be dog. Scotties are hard to get in Australia, and females almost impossible. But when HER mother died, SHE wanted to spend some of the inheritance on a female scottie. SHE was going to Sydney for the weekend and just happened to find an ad for scotties--almost unheard of. SHE arrived on Mother's Day and I chose HER. Daisy was HER mother's favourite flower, so that's how I got my name. I'm the Memorial scottie.

Bella was 5 months old when she arrived so she kept her name. Roxy was a rescue pup and her litter all had names beginning with 'R'. She was 5 months old, so she kept her name, too.10. What is your absolute favorite food?

Our VERY favourite food is FISH! We love sardines, fish skin jerky, or any other kind of fish, cooked any way. ( Roxy loves to roll in dead fish at the river.)

We would like to finish by saying we hope we will be worthy of the trust you have placed on us.
